Short Story

” I’m planning for a summer scuba diving trip, which is my favorite hobby. I love diving under the sea, watching fish, coral reefs, and the amazing scenery underwater.

Before diving, I always practice breathing exercises. During the dive, there will be a guide to ensure safety. Safety is crucial, so I’ll make sure to follow all the diving rules and guidelines. I wear a diving suit, snorkel, goggles, and fins. This equipment helps me dive comfortably and see everything.

I’m excited to explore the underwater world, taking in the beauty of marine life. It’s like entering a whole new world under the sea. I can’t wait for the adventure to begin! “
